Holiday Gift Guide: For Co-Workers & Acquaintances

There’s only one more week until it’s finally Christmas! 😀 Ahh! How did time fly by so fast? With the holidays rolling around, it’s time to make sure you have all of your gifts in check!

As with every Christmas, I leave the gifts that I want to shop for least last, and that means gifts for coworkers or casual acquaintances. It’s not that I don’t like shopping for these particular gifts, just that I always have a somewhat difficult time picking great, practical, yet wallet-friendly items.

While it may be tempting to just grab anything for these acquaintances since gifts aren’t really necessary, I believe Christmas is a time for giving, and it never hurts to show a little gratitude to everyone in your life. Plus, it definitely helps you get further in the long run by establishing better connections with those around you.

2. Metal Photo Clip String Set • Urban Outfitters • $14
Another amazing gift idea for a coworker, this photo clip string set is perfect for setting up in the cubicle. Photos can really help brighten up any day, and with this string set, your coworker can relive great memories even when they’re having a bad day in the office.

4. Leah Goren Cat Study Mug • STUDY • $14
You can never go wrong with a mug because everyone loves their coffee or tea, and with a fun yet creative pattern, your coworker or acquaintance will surely thank you because it sets their mug apart from everyone else’s in the kitchen.

7. ban.do Rosy Outlook 2016 Planner • Anthropologie • $22
I love planners because they’re so useful. For coworkers or acquaintances who you know wouldn’t normally buy planners on their own, your gift might just motivate them to start using one, making for more productive and organized days. Plus, it’s so hard to resist the pretty pattern, which will really pop in the office.

9. Citrus Zinger Sport • $18
And of course, for that one friend who’s such a health-and-fitness-junkie, this sports bottle is perfect for them because it comes with a little citrus zinger, which makes making fruit water so much easier.

What’re you all planning to get your coworkers or acquaintances? Which of these on the list is your favorite? I’d love to hear from you, especially since the holidays are coming up really soon! It never hurts to have more gift ideas! 🙂

I love this! I am always looking for gifts for people I just sort of know but all the gift guides I find are for close friends or parents or boyfriends etc. Great suggestions!

I got an infuser for my Secret Santa gift to a dedicated gym-goer. Tomorrow I am going to do shopping for my hubby’s Secret Santa gift, he needs something Star Wars themed. I am in luck haha 😀

Hahaha I know what you mean Nadia – I always like to take care of the “bigger” gifts first before I go on to buy the ones for coworkers or acquaintances 🙂 And ooh Secret Santa! Haha I always find it fun, but also kind of nerve wrecking because I want to buy something fun yet useful and practical too ❤ And nooo, thank you so much for always showing so much support on my blog as well, Nadia ❤ You're even more wonderful!
